Alumni Fellows Program – Awarded in collaboration with the Academic Deans and Chairs and the President’s Office to recognize alumni members who have distinguished themselves in their careers. The goal of the Alumni Fellows program is to bring successful alumni to campus to meet with the students and faculty to share their expertise in the classroom and in informal settings across the campus.

Blue Feather Award – This award is given each year to individuals who have made significant contributions to the University.
